Could you folks at DU help me find the Trump comment commending James Shaw, the Waffle House hero?

I try to pay attention to the news, but some how I must have missed Trump hailing Mr. Shaw as an American hero.

But, so far, Mr. Tweet about everything has been silent.

for a trademark Cheeto incoherent, off the top of the head congratulatory speech followed by a "thumbs up" photo-op suitable for mantlepiece or wall display (ah! so many memories).

meme'd a caption, "Blue Lives Matter."

Not sure what's behind it. Perhaps they're upset that the two cops that were killed in Gainesville didn't get equal time.

Does anyone know what kind of logical fallacy is being used when your opponent tries to dilute the positive facts of one event, by posting information from another, unrelated event?
